The Wetmore-Hardscrabble Genealogical and Historical Society was founded in 2005 by native-born Wetmore resident Jeannie Culpin. In 2007, Jeannie purchased the old post office building (built in the 1870's) in downtown Wetmore, Colorado. In May of 2008, the building was declared as a designated historic property by the National and State Historical Societies.
Jeannie's mission was to provide a gathering place for those who were interested in learning about and preserving the history and genealogy of the Hardscrabble Creek area. With this goal in mind, Jeannie began the long renovation process on the building, and in 2009, the community celebrated the opening of the Wetmore Historical Center. The Wetmore Historical Center houses a library and museum and is the gathering place for WHG&HS meetings and events. The Wetmore Historical Center is open to the public by appointment. Please call for more information: Jeannie Culpin 719-784-3399, Kathy West 719-784-3374 or Peggy Martin 719-784-4717
The WHG&HS meets the 2nd Saturday of each month at 10:00 am. Guests are invited to attend and new members are welcome. For more information, please call 719-784-3399 or 719-784-1990 or e mail
